Hard to follow what's going on there towards the end...LOL....here's a good one....don't mess with us landscapers!
Some robbery suspects in northwest Harris County messed with the wrong guy who used his weed eater to fight back. Video shows the victim trimming a lawn on March 29, 2024, on Renmark Lane near Cypresswood Drive. According to Precinct 4, he spotted some men stealing equipment from his truck parked a few houses down. As the suspects drove past him, they tried to hit the victim with their car, Precinct 4 said. That's when he threw his weed whacker at their windshield. The car kept going but one passenger fell out and landed in the street. He tried to stand up but kept falling back down as the victim threatened him with the weed eater. He finally ran off and got back into the red, four-door vehicle waiting nearby. Precinct 4 says a second dark-colored vehicle may also have been involved. "The suspect, Jerell Alexander, received minor injuries from being struck and was later located at a local hospital," Constable Mark Herman said.

I had read it. I still don't know why the two cars come back and stop. Then there are extra people in the street. It needs a lot more clarification at the end...

It's hard to accept in a post Home Alone world, but booby traps are generally illegal, even in the US. Basically, if you could reasonably expect someone to be seriously injured by the trap, best not do it. It's not the fishing line itself, but the potential for someone entangled in the fishing line to fall and hit their head. (straightforward things, not Final Destination Rube Goldbergs).
